Each step turns green on its own the moment we detect the real action — a connection authorizes, a field saves, a webhook fires. No manual ticking.

9 of 9 required steps complete100%
  1. Finish your creator profile

    ~2 min

    This is what brands see in the first 3 seconds — your name, niche, and handle. It also auto-fills your portfolio and rate card, so you only enter it once.

    ✓ Done —
  2. Switch to a Professional (Creator) account

    ~1 min

    It's the free key that unlocks your real Instagram/TikTok analytics and brand messages flowing into your inbox. Personal accounts are invisible to the tools that grow your following.

    ✓ Done —
  3. Connect Instagram & TikTok (your growth brain)

    ~1 min

    This turns on your recommendations engine — best times to post, which formats are actually growing you, and what to make more of. The 'how do I grow as fast as possible' answer.

    ✓ Done —
  4. Connect your email & Instagram DMs (your deal inbox)

    ~1 min

    Every brand that reaches out — by email or DM — lands as a deal in one place, so you stop losing paying opportunities buried in your DMs at 2am.

    ✓ Done —
  5. Add your work samples & bio (your portfolio)

    ~10 min

    A real portfolio converts brand interest into booked deals far better than a Linktree of random links. This is your storefront — brands decide whether to pay you here.

    ✓ Done —
  6. Set your rate card & packages

    ~5 min

    Published rates filter out lowballers and let serious brands self-qualify before they message you. You negotiate less and close faster, at your price.

    ✓ Done —
  7. Publish your page & swap your bio link

    ~2 min

    This is the moment you replace your Linktree with a site that actually books deals. Put this one link in your bio and every visitor can hire you through your intake form.

    ✓ Done —
  8. Turn on payments

    ~5 min

    Get paid in one click, straight to your bank — and approve every charge before a brand is invoiced. No more chasing invoices over email.

    ✓ Done —

    Connect your calendar (optional)

    (optional)~1 min

    Let brands book a call with you straight from your portfolio — fewer back-and-forth emails to find a time.

  10. Land your first deal

    The whole system pays off here — a brand inquiry becomes a tracked deal you can approve, invoice, and get paid on.
